If you want earbuds designed to reduce the chances you’ll lose them, Beats Flex Wireless may fit the bill as they offer four different in-ear tip options, meaning even small-eared users should be able to find a good fit. Perhaps more importantly, Beats Flex boasts a wired design connecting the left and right earbuds, thus allowing them to hang around your neck when not in use. That design will also ensure they don’t tumble into the nearest gutter if they fall out of your ear.
Of course, that wired design may be a deal breaker for some in the era of the true wireless earbud. Thankfully, Beats Flex is Bluetooth enabled, meaning no wire is required to connect to your device. In its review of Beats Flex, CNET also praised the earbuds’ functionality and better-than-average sound, though they also made clear Beats Flex’s audio falls short of some high-end options. At a cost of just $70, a dip in sound quality is not surprising, though Beats perhaps offset the issue with Flex’s 12-hour playback time.
